McCain comes close to proposing a draft
- Thread starter cindy25

your wife has nothing to worry about. the military could not handle 50 million men and women, and the government could not pay them.
a McCain draft would be much like the Nick Smith (R-MI) which would grab a certain number of 18 year olds. a Hillary draft would require "national service" as a pre-req to attend college.
so while these are bad enough no one 37 or even 27 has anything to worry about. the exception are doctors and nurses who may be drafted if there is another war.

My husband is 26 and my brother is almost 18. If there ever is a draft, i'll be finding a nice new home in another country with my family in tow.

If you are drafted and captured by the enemy forget about being rescued.
Question For McCain
Many Vietnam Veterans are Against McCain
The Question Ron Paul Supporters need to ask John McCain.
_By Ted Sampley_ (http://usvetdsp.com/sampbio.htm)
U.S. Veteran Dispatch
January 12, 2008
When I read this week in the online Cedar Rapids Gazette that Senator John
McCain had on the campaign trail in Iowa raised the issue of the deployment of
his son, Marine Corporal Jimmy McCain, to Iraq, I realized it's time for
some "straight talk" from the Senator about 2 spy satellite images.
Senator McCain, with the critically important South Carolina Primary only
days away, I ask you this hypothetical question:
"What, if you become President, would you do if your son Jimmy
was reported missing in action and you were informed that a U.S. spy satellite
passing over Iraq had photographed a military distress
code message in the desert that correlated to Jimmy?"
I ask this because, during your "investigation" of missing American
servicemen in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in 1991-1993, you ridiculed a similar
satellite photo taken in 1988 that showed what Department of Defense (DOD)
experts testified was a valid, classified United States military Pilot Distress code
in a dry rice paddy in Sam Neua Province, Laos.
According to DOD documents cited in the 2007 New York Times bestseller - An
Enormous Crime - those DOD experts testified that each of the letters in the
"USA" were 12 feet tall and together the 3 letters stretched 37 feet across
the dry paddy, and the highly classified "Walking K" Escape and Evasion symbol
beneath the "USA" was 24 feet tall and 19 feet across. DOD experts told you
that this "USA Walking K" pilot distress code "must be considered valid until
proven otherwise."
http://www.amazon.com/Enormous-Crime...0244441&sr=1-1
Despite the expert testimony - and the fact that roughly 90 independent
intelligence sources had reported the presence of American POWs in Sam Neua
Province after the Vietnam War; that a radio intercept had told of US POWs in the
province; and that a different satellite photo - also taken in 1988 - had
shown the name of a US pilot laid out beside a trail near where the "USA Walking
K" was seen in the rice paddy - despite all that you declared at the time and
later in your 2002 memoir - Worth The Fighting For - that the "USA Walking
K" pilot distress code was not a plea for rescue as the DOD experts said, but
instead was "a young Laotian boy's handiwork that he had copied off an
envelope."
Really, really cute, Senator!
Having observed how you so callously abandoned missing American servicemen
(my son's grandfather, Green Beret SFC Robert D. Owen included) to a lifetime
of captivity in Southeast Asia during your 1991-1993 "investigation," I,
along with many other POW/MIA family members, fear that you may similarly abandon
more brave Americans if you are elected President.
So I ask you now, Senator McCain - before the election - how would you handle
a similar distress code message from the Iraqi desert (especially if it
pertained to Jimmy McCain)? Would you callously blow it off as nothing more than
the handiwork of a young Iraqi boy or...?

This should be a major talking point for Paul, because he can attack both the Democrats and people like McCain. Does anyone like the idea of mandatory service, even if it isn't military? I know Hillary wants to have everyone give mandatory volunteer hours.
No if you read HR 393 is is for any male or female between the ages of 18 and 42, your sons and daughters could be drafted....ALL of them.
I agree. They should be asked directly what they support- if they support a draft they will beat around the "Bush" (ok, not funny) but if they do not they will be very quick to say that.

Mandatory anything mandated by the the federal goverment is a big no no for me. If the goverment could somehow get the states to all comply, then it would in theory be constitutional.
I just heard an ad on the radio yesterday evening urging high school seniors to send in their selective service registration so they could qualify for college loans. Naturally, the ad didn't mention anything about a military draft... it was basically "selective service registration = money for college"
